A member asked:
Are there any latest medical technology or vaccines that have the potential to dramatically help, treat or cure arthritis?

No, not yet: Newer arthritis medications try to suppress a person's immune system, so the system does not attack his own joints. The medications are not magical, but they do help, and unfortunately can have side effects. Researchers continue to look for an awesome medication that can stop arthritis symptoms, without side effects. There is no vaccine for arthritis.
